    Putting together my boxing bucket list and looking to create a list of the best boxing venues in the United States today. Also will accept non-U.S. venues if there's a compelling case to be made.

    MGM Grand

    You stay in it
    You get pissed in it
    You eat in it
    You get laid in it
    You go to the weigh-in in it
    You meet great fighters in it
    You watch the fight in it

    Best place on earth although haven't been to the Mandalay yet.

    PS - Staples is quality also.

    Agreed, and most people who go to those Vegas fights only show when just prior to the main event after losing a bundle at the tables. It's hob-knobbing second on the HBO cameras.

    All-State Arena Rosemont Illinois
    (I go there all the time for fights)


    Sidenote: WWF superstar Stone Cold Steve Austin says All-State Arena was his favorite place to wrestle, it was known as the Rosemont Horizon back when he came here. (I'm from Chicago).

  12. It used to be Vegas, but them days are over it's ran it's course:-( jerry Jones new stadium in Texas is now the hotspot, or will be in a few years..

    **** Vegas, too many thugs, hustlers, and assholes that don't really give a **** about who's fighting, they just go there to get drunk, and **** around...
